About Sach

Account management and digital advertising specialist with 7+ years' experience owning and growing multi-million dollar client portfolios across agency, in-house and consulting environments across a range of industries: FMCG, pharmaceutical, education, automotive, banking and payments, with a specialism in paid media.


I build long-term client relationships that last, leading strategic business reviews and turning campaign data into recommendations that get clients closer to their business objectives, not just media KPIs. I've spent my career working both sides of the table — inside agencies and directly with brands — so I know how to manage challenging and culturally diverse internal and external stakeholders, different corporate structures and the priorities of both, understanding how media fits into the bigger integrated marketing picture.


I've partnered with stakeholders from operations through to C-suite, consistently exceeded campaign targets, and unlocked over $400k in incremental revenue and $3m+ in new opportunity pipeline from a single portfolio. I treat clients as people worth building a genuine connection with, and that's what makes the difference — trust, honesty, and relationships that last well beyond a single campaign, with experience across APAC and EMEA.
